CLIENT: Mandale Ltd.

VALUE: £30 million (£12 & £18 million)

STATUS: Complete 2008

The Bonded Warehouse is an imposing eight storey brick building on the west end of Newcastle's Quayside. Although severely damaged and gutted by a number of fires whilst standing derelict, our Client recognised the huge potential of this Grade 2 listed structure and commissioned Napper Architects to develop design proposals for a major new residential development that would give the existing building a new lease of life and represent a significant investment to the Quayside.

STATUS: Complete 2008

The Bonded Warehouse is an imposing eight storey brick building on the west end of Newcastle's Quayside. Although severely damaged and gutted by a number of fires whilst standing derelict, our Client recognised the huge potential of this Grade 2 listed structure and commissioned Napper Architects to develop design proposals for a major new residential development that would give the existing building a new lease of life and represent a significant investment to the Quayside.

The existing brick facade was sensitively restored in consultation with English Heritage and a new steel frame inserted to stabilise the building. With the addition of a new structure stitched onto the end of the existing warehouse, the completed development provides 134 apartments, including penthouse suites, which offer stunning views along the River Tyne and its famous bridges.

Forth Banks is a mixed use development located on a strategic site along the Newcastle Quayside which was completed in tandem with Hanover Street. In addition to car parking for the adjacent Hanover Street residential development and three floors of office accommodation, Forth Banks provides 37 residential apartments over 12 floors.
